    First C-Band Dish Need Motor Suggestions

    Yes, I would just use the top set to adjust the elevation. And those bolts may need a little penetrant, percussive maintenance or heat (in extreme cases) but they look to be in excellent condition, would be really surprised if they gave you much trouble.

    First C-Band Dish Need Motor Suggestions

    I agree, that one has the same model number as my Prodelin 1.8. Lots of good advice and perspectives in here for you to assess, card13. It could definitely be motorized on an AJAK, or even a Birdview H-H mount, but only you can decide if "the juice is worth the squeeze", it's a pretty good...

    C and Ku Band equipment for sale

    That dish alone is worth most of what you are asking for the lot, excellent consumer-grade dish.

    10 ft Unimesh Grab

    I have SAMI's, Perfect 10s and some others but always thought the Unimesh were slightly heavier built and are my favorite of the typical consumer-grade BUDs...especially the perfs. Nice find and haul!

    Uniden Supra - is it garbage?

    Those VideoCipher modules have a battery in them that can leak and make a mess of the IRD, might want to look at that also.

    Hi, My name is Al

    Cost may be a factor but have you considered Starlink internet? You will need to see a pretty good piece of sky, generally to the north. We have had it for going on a year now and it has been incredible with uptime at approximately 99.999%. We see speeds of 125-250 down, 10-20 up and pings in...

    Testing the new Titanium C138 Performance Plus C Band LNBF

    I use a center punch and line up a very light punch mark on the mount and pole.

    Toshiba TRX-100 Sat Name

    That would be nice if you could just put in the location in degrees like that, since the names and designations are always changing it seems. I have always tried to think of everything by location anyway, less confusion for me, hope you can figure it out.

    Toshiba TRX-100 Sat Name

    I had a TRX-100 several years ago and I don't remember a way to change the names, but it may be possible. I do remember printing out a chart and just relating the pre-programmed names to an orbital location slot and cross referencing to that when the satellite names changed. A lot of...

    Patient Channel 87w

    Is Starlink an option for you? I've been online with them for about a month and the performance is incredible for someone living out in the middle of the woods. You do need a pretty good view to the "north" typically in the lower 48 states. Pics are the mount I fabricated to breed the...

    Best deal on a decent 1.2 meter dish

    Ah, I may have misunderstood the question, I didn't even consider the NPRM to be part of the deal. If that dish comes with the NPRM and the RX unit/feedhorn that's a steal!

    Best deal on a decent 1.2 meter dish

    I'm not sure what mount it has but it would almost certainly require some fabrication to breed it to a STAB-type H/H motor. If that is a stamped steel dish I believe a STAB 120 would handle it, if you can find one anymore. A fiberglass 1.2 meter will require adapting to a polar mount or an...

    OTHER Televes 85cm Orange Ku Band Dish

    Wow, that's a blast from the past. Pretty sure I purchased that pair from "Mr. Tony". :cool: Got a lot of use out of both and they performed pretty well...think I still have one of them.
